In this episode of the In the Red Podcast, host Anthony Hart explores the concept of capacity, encompassing not just physical capacity but also mental, emotional, and spiritual capacity. Anthony shares his realization that while their church property has ample physical space, limited capacity in other areas is holding them back from fully utilizing it.
Drawing on biblical parables and personal examples, he illustrates how our mindsets, emotions, and spiritual states can either limit or expand our ability to grow. The main takeaway is that focusing solely on physical growth without addressing internal capacities is futile. To truly expand, we must first work on increasing our mental, emotional, and spiritual capacities.
Chapters:
- Introduction and Call to Action (00:00:19): Anthony introduces the podcast, its purpose of providing applicable wisdom, and encourages listeners to follow, download, and review. He contrasts the podcast's approach with churches that fail to make teachings relevant for daily life.
- The Concept of Capacity (00:03:57): While mowing the church's 10-acre property, Pastor Anthony has a realization that despite the physical space, they couldn't expand further due to limited capacities in other areas. He explains that capacity encompasses mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects, not just physical.
- Mental Capacity and Education (00:17:13): Anthony discusses how mental capacity is often limited by societal norms and education systems that lower expectations. He uses examples of other countries with higher educational standards to illustrate the impact of mental capacity on growth and achievement.
- Emotional Capacity and Entertainment (00:20:13): Anthony explores how emotional capacity is drained by mindless entertainment and reality TV, which promote unhealthy relationships and lack of personal development. He argues that these influences limit our emotional capacity for growth.
- The Parable of the Talents (00:26:39): Hart analyzes the biblical parable of the talents, where servants were given different amounts of money to manage. He uses this to illustrate how mental and emotional capacities, not just physical resources, determine one's ability to grow and achieve more.
- Challenging Limiting Beliefs (00:31:24): In conclusion, he challenges listeners to examine their limiting beliefs and mindsets that may be stunting their growth. He encourages them to expand their mental, emotional, and spiritual capacities to prepare for physical growth in various areas of life.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
